Shu Wugui heard an icy voice drift into his sea of consciousness. "I'll settle accounts with you in a moment."
The battle began quickly and ended even faster.
In just a few dozen breaths, the ground was littered with injured men crying for mercy.
Shu Wugui's face turned ashen. He had always known Su Jiu was formidable, but he had never imagined she was this formidable.
What shocked him even more, however, was the man beside Su Jiu, who also fought with Ice Element Arts. Who was he, and why had Shu Wugui never heard of such a person?
Just as Chu Luohen was about to deliver the final, fatal blow to Shu Li, Su Jiu stopped his sword.
Watching the hope on Shu Wugui's face turn to disappointment, Su Jiu couldn't help finding it amusing.
Without even looking at Shu Li, she simply told Chu Luohen, "I still have a use for this man."
Chu Luohen did not ask why, though he was far from pleased.
Su Jiu walked up to Shu Wugui, who was bound by the Spirit-Locking Chain, a faint chill in her eyes.
"Shu Wugui."
Hearing Su Jiu speak his name, Shu Wugui shuddered involuntarily. Then he forced out a smile and tried to seize the initiative. "May I ask why you've tied me up, Fellow Daoist Su?"
Su Jiu's voice was mild, but her words were razor-sharp. "It seems you still haven't grasped your situation, Fellow Daoist Shu."
Shu Wugui merely smiled without speaking, seemingly determined to get an explanation.
Seeing his silence, Su Jiu couldn't be bothered to spar with him any longer and went straight to settling old scores. "I never knew you had such a helpful heart, Fellow Daoist Shu."
Shu Wugui looked bewildered.
The corners of Su Jiu's lips curled slightly.
